Study on application of grid-computing to automatic irrigation management system

在三重县南部地区进行了建立最佳灌溉管理的示范试验。在一个柑橘橙子农场安装了一个FieldServer，用于测量气温、土壤水分等环境因子，并获取树木和果实的图像。高分辨率摄像机的外壳被开发用于该领域。长期以来，高分辨率图像的连续记录是成功的。此外，还对卫星和移动的数据通信服务进行了评估，结果表明，FOMA数据通信服务可用作农业农场的互联网连接

Demonstration experiments to establish optimal irrigation management were carried out in the region of southern part of Mie prefecture. A FieldServer was installed in a mandarin orange farm to measure environment factors such as air temperature, soil moisture contents, etc. and to obtain images of trees and fruits. Housing for high resolution camera was developed to be adopted in the field. Continuous recording of high-resolution images was successful over a long term. Moreover, both satellite and mobile data communication services were evaluated and it was shown that FOMA data communication services would be useful as an Internet connection at agricultural farm
